Noida, Sep 27 (APAC Media): Mehli Mistry, a long-time associate of the late industrialist Ratan Tata, has decided not to seek re-election as a trustee of the Tata Medical Centre Trust, marking his latest exit from a Tata-linked institution.
Mistry’s current term as trustee of the Kolkata-based trust is set to end on September 30, according to reports. He communicated his decision in an email dated September 15 to Tata Medical Centre CEO Arun Pattatheyil. Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata and other trustees were also marked on the communication.
“I would like to inform you that my term ends as a Trustee of Tata Medical Centre on 30th September, 2026. I do not wish to stand for re-election and would request that this mail, not to renew my term, be kept on record,†Mistry said in the email.
Mistry has served as a trustee of the Tata Medical Centre Trust since 2017. His decision comes amid a series of departures from organisations linked to the Tata group and its philanthropic institutions following the death of Ratan Tata in October 2024.
Mistry has previously stepped down from positions at the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Ratan Tata Endowment Trust, Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation and RNT Associates.
His latest exit adds to the changes taking place across several Tata-linked trusts and entities. Mistry had been closely associated with Ratan Tata and was involved with a number of organisations connected with the industrialist’s philanthropic and business interests.
The Tata Medical Centre Trust operates a not-for-profit cancer hospital in Kolkata. The centre provides cancer treatment and related services, including screening, early detection, rehabilitation and palliative care.
The hospital serves patients from eastern and northeastern India as well as neighbouring regions. It was established as part of the Tata group’s philanthropic healthcare initiatives, with a focus on cancer treatment, research, education and patient support.
Mistry’s decision does not mark an end to all his associations with Tata philanthropic organisations. He continues to be associated with the Tata Education and Development Trust, according to reports.
His departures have taken place during a period of changes in the governance and leadership of various Tata-linked institutions. Mistry had earlier highlighted the importance of transparency and good governance in the functioning of charitable organisations.
The Tata group has a long history of philanthropy through its charitable trusts, which support initiatives in healthcare, education, rural development and social welfare.
Mistry’s decision not to seek another term means the Tata Medical Centre Trust will have to appoint a successor as it continues its work in cancer care and related services.
